The crown jewell of this neighbourhood is its namesake Wanless Park, a large nicely treed park that is situated right in the middle of the neighbourhood. This park is a hub for community events, dog walkers, and children's recreation. This urban greenspace is just one of many reasons homebuyers are flocking to this neighbourhood.

This is not a large neighbourhood and there are never many homes available for sale. However there have been 13 sales recorded thus far in 2014. David Dunkelman, Broker, Royal Lepage Signature Realty says "spring is the best time to buy into this neighbourhood as this is when most of the homnes come on the market. This is a family neighbourhood so sellers tend to list in the spring, and move in the summer so they are settled in their new home in September when its back to school and back to work."

The average sale price this year in Wanless Park is $1,106,000. The strong demand for houses in this neighbourhoodis is reflected in the list to sale price ratio which is an astounding 105%, and the average days on the market which is a mere 7 days. "When a new listing does come on the market in Wanless Park buyers need to be in sync with their agent and prepared to pounce" states Dunkelman. According to Dunkelman homebuyers are targeting this neighbourhood for its highly ranked schools, convenient subway access and the excellent shopping and restaurants in Yonge Lawrence Village. Dunkelman says "With the park as its centrepiece this neighbourhood has it all."
